Demo 2 RELEASED

Greetings, adventurers of Haramain! We wish you good luck and good health!

Today, Broken Ace comes with a wonderful update for all of you!

Throughout this month’s development, we have created new and polished the old. And now, Ruang Ilusi Teknologi would like to present a new update for this demo.

Before we go with the detailed explanation of the changes made in this version, here is a simple recap:

1. Added three new playable characters and two additional bossfight after the fall of Haramain’s Lord.
2. Changed the art style of opponents and switching from frontal view to side view battle style.
3. Added more weapon, armor, and skill selection for the player.
4. Improved the dialogue pieces, making it easier to understand who speaks what.
5. Slightly expanded the world lore.
6. Make the gameplay favors player better overall, such as recover players’ stats on level up and uses a combat system where player do their action EXACTLY before the character’s turn takes place. Also expanded skillsets of most characters.
7. Altered some aspects of battle to make it more enjoyable, such as 3 levels of buff/debuff, less encounter, and more variation to skill deck.

In short, this update focused more on the gameplay. Between our Devtober build and our update, we discovered the gameplay is too monotonous in the second area (which we are still addressing) and personally, we want to implement a side-view instead of front-view battle. Back in Devtober, the Development Team was not aware of Yanfly plugin before near the end of Devtober. This time, the team decides to redo the gameplay into sideview style and see how well this fares compared to the previous.

Next, we also considered an increase in content size, especially new contents, would be a pleasant addition and what would naturally be expected from updates. As such, we have added two new story related contents for you to enjoy:

1. A story of two prison guards that can be entered after the previous DEMO ending, available via a door in third area
2. A story of a mysterious person near a tomb, available in a new area

Speaking of new area, we of course are proud to introduce a sub area that, due to time constraint of Devtober Jam, did not make it to the initial release. This sub area is a continuation of Haramain Domain before entering the palace.

With this update, the number of explorable area count now changed from 4 to 6 (including final boss from previous demo). If you have saved in the previous demo, it should be possible to continue from there. However, it is most stable to start fresh instead. Don’t hesitate to let us know any bug, issue, or suggestion to improve this game!

In addition, we extend our thanks to all the supporters who opened up our itch.io page and/or downloaded our project. From the first release of 30^th of October till now, this project has reached almost 100 views and this is a lot considering our first major project! We wish you good health and luck.

It also has come to our attention that we needed a media to communicate with our userbase to understand better of their intentions. With that in mind, we are happy to announce a Discord channel to communicate with us. You can join our Discord provided in our game page and Itch profile, or just CLICK HERE.

This game is run under PWYW (Pay-What-You-Want) scheme. However, we do appreciate to get support for this game’s and our future products’ growth. In regards to this, we default the donation to $2.00, what we believe a fair price for our product in the current release. However, as always, the product is free with no string attached!
